so immediate action can be taken. Don't lose sleep! After hours
call 1-877-396-8533 from your campsite at any time so we may
correct the situation. We appreciate knowing when things aren't
running just right.
2. TRAILER/EMERGENCY/SEPTIC HOSES: Please install two 'Y'
connectors on the water tap on your post. From the one Y run
one hose to supply water to your trailer and from the other 'Y'

instant use in case of emergency at your trailer and the other,
also equipped with a hose nozzle, for use in servicing your
septic.
3. FURNACES AND HEATERS: Trailer furnaces must vent safely
to the outside, not into add-a-rooms. No kerosene, etc. heaters
